'It's not over': COVID-19 cases rise in some nations easing lockdowns: WHO

GENEVA - Some countries have seen “upticks” in COVID-19 cases as lockdowns ease, and populations must protect themselves from the coronavirus while authorities continue testing, the World Health Organization said on Friday.

The epicentre of the pandemic is currently in countries of Central, South and North America, particularly the United States, WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said. “On upticks , yes we have seen in countries around the world - I’m not talking specifically about Europe - when the lockdowns ease, when the social distancing measures ease, people sometimes interpret this as ‘OK, it’s over’,” Harris told a U.N. briefing in Geneva.Harris, referring to U.S. demonstrations since the killing of George Floyd 10 days ago, she said that protesters must take precautions.

To avoid infection, the WHO advised people to maintain a distance of at least 1 metre , frequently wash hands and avoid touching their mouth, nose and eyes, Harris said.

How can a global health agency talk such bo!!ocks?

Defunding the WHO is actually starting to sound like a good idea.

That’s a daft comment from the WHO if it is what was said.

I hear AIDs is still a thing....let’s ban sexy time too

Was she heavy on the vino?

É un idiozia

Idiotic madness.

Margaret Harris and everyone at the WHO and CDCgov need to be thrown in prison.

Yayyy morons 👏👏👏 👉 👉 👉 👉 👉 👇

What about influenza, salmonella, herpes, HIV, norovirus... etc etc etc? Are we going to eradicate them all, now that we’re at it? Might as well stay locked up for another 50-100 years? That would solve the overpopulation problem too. 👍🏼

Is she on drugs?

Well if there is ‚No virus anywhere in the world‘ there is no LIFE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. Humans and viruses have coexisted since the dawn of time. Does a layperson like me really have to explain that to the WHO?

So do these SOBs really expect human beings to hide in their homes as long as there is a chance someone might get sick?

Many and diversified diseases are in Africa and other places in the world .... Have you ever heard about them.... Have you ever asked people to stay at home because of them!! So stop frightening people....

She is dumb and should be shamed out of her career.

Who (WHO) believes these impossible targets? Seriously, do people believe this is worth resources?

So this is a message to the people of the world from WHO that we have no hope and should give up our lives now? Glad they're being defunded.

Aah, you must be waiting for US funding, ask China now!!!

The WHO eradicated the flu. The flu doesn’t exist anymore with all this damn coronavirus runnin’ wild. iHateTheFlu

The only virus are your organizations. Protocolos doesn't work. UN WHO

Seems like a pretty high bar.

In other words, 'it will never be over'.

So when's that gonna happen 🙄

Looks it will stay for long
